4. Receiver Fitting
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that it has close contact with your dog’s
neck to ensure proper usage. You should be able to fit a finger in between the
product and your dog’s skin. The best location is on either side of the dog’s
windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog’s neck, which may
rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the
contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent.
Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended
period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the receiver
for long periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every few hours to a
different location on the dog’s neck and remove the receiver after eight hours
of usage. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.
5. LED Indicator
Located on the front of the system, the LED indicator flashes every 4 seconds
when the receiver is on and ready for use.
The LED indicator color indicates the battery life level.
Green = Full charge
Amber = Medium charge
Red = Needs charge
If the unit is used while the LED indicator is red, it may shut down
automatically.
6. Charging the Battery
The Dogtra STB BEEPER COLLAR and STB HAWK COLLAR use a lithium polymer
battery. Recharge the unit if the indicator light is red or does not come on.
NOTE 1: Only use Dogtra-approved batteries, chargers, and accessories for
your Dogtra system. This will prevent any damage that can be incurred from
attempting to use a different charger.
NOTE 2: The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the Dogtra facility.
Upon receipt of the system, be sure to give it a full 2-hour initial charge
before the first use away from any flammable substances.
NOTE 3: When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power
source. Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for
a period of 3 months or more.
Follow the steps below to charge your system:
-
Open the rubber plug on the battery charging receptacle and plug in the charging cable.
-
Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet or, if using the auto charger, plug into a cigarette lighter only for
lithium polymer batteries (use a 220-volt European charger for Europe). All indicator lights should glow red
when properly plugged in and the unit will automatically shut off during the charging process. You will need to
turn the unit on again before use once the unit is fully charged and unplugged from the battery cable. -
The lithium-polymer battery is fully charged within 2 hours. The lights will stay red during the charging
process and turn green once the unit is fully charged. -
After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles with rubber plugs.
MAINTENANCE
Basic Maintenance
Make sure the rubber charging cap is securely in place when the system is in
use. After each training session, carefully inspect the unit for any missing
parts or damage to the casing. The damaged or broken casing may affect the
waterproof guarantee on the unit. After confirming that there is no damage to
the casing, rinse the receiver and clean out any dirt or debris.
Storage Maintenance
The STB BEEPER COLLAR or STB HAWK COLLAR should be fully charged before
storing for extended periods. While in storage, the unit should be given a
full charge once a month, and before the first use. Store the units in room
temperature. Do not keep the units exposed to extreme climates.
Troubleshooting
If the unit is malfunctioning, please refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” before sending it to Dogtra for service. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email them to info@dogtra.com, or call customer service at 888-811-9111.

not allow certain limitations of implied warranties or of incidental or
consequential damages or other remedies, so certain of the foregoing
limitations may not apply to You.
If any portion of the Warranty is held by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Warranty shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected or invalidated, and the
